@dggrj - thanks for the answers. Clarifications below: "2 CoC"? - No, only 1. It takes up a single special slot, or possibly none at all if a Master can have it as special-free mount (still unsure). I considered it a good idea to take a CoC for a noble, hence providing a better Ld to overc...

Sure! If the opponent has little shooting, that's OK. You could even mount the sorc on a DS and jump from this unit to a similar one in vicinity, in case it was threaten. Against heavy shooting, I would add a shield, or consider to take corsairs instead. Another option is to hide the cheap unit behi...

I saw somewhere: Master” The Beastmaster is gone. No longer there as either a character or an upgrade. Instead the new "Master" is the new generic Hero with more upgrades than you can shake a stick at. So I understand that you can take a Master as simple (and cheap) as possible with the Ma...

in the thread: Word from someone with the new book they say its a unit like present day assassin for the stats, Neither Core, nor Hero so does not count against any slot. 90pts, always hidden in unit (pretty much any DE infantry). Has poisoned attacks, 75pts allowed from Gifts of Khaine, Additional ...

I just noticed that the UK websites has updated their range of DE models. Now harpies are listed as core. Most new minis appear with "preorder". Assassins, new sorc, new CO-mounted heroes, new corsairs are there. http://uk.games-workshop.com/storefront/store.uk?do=List_Models&code=22&a...

About the question of which specials to choose, many of you answered, revealing yourselves probably as long-time gamers who own already the whole range of minis and look for the most competitive army. My perspective is a more modest one, but may be shared by many. Although I am playing only non-comp...

I always loose against my son's dwarven army. He plays as many cannons and catapults as he can. Rest of the army is half heavily armoured, half shooting with crossbows and handuns. When played over 2000, I know he will play his Anvil of Doom loaded with all the runes he can to make it practically im...

Welcome. I've been there for little time but became quickly addicted. Browse a lot. There are some excellent threads about tactics. Some topics are excellent to watch, especially as our new book comes next month. Thanks to Druchii.net, most of it won't surprise most of us. Have fun. And go and conqu...

@getwisteerd The step was a big mistake of mine. I averaged instead of summing up, so the result was divided by 3 or 4. Thanks to you, I edited the initial post, which should be accurate now... and much more interesting with a huge increase in the expectations! The conclusions stay the same. The mor...

@ hyetemplar Let's take 3 level-2 sorc, that have 8 die together. Without PoD, they cast 24 2-die spells in a game (assuming they survived...), each with 1/36 chance of miscast. Less than once a game. With 3 2-die PoD cast each turn, they gain 14 more die in the full game... Assuming all of these ad...

Reading this thread, I found many incomplete maths about the new Power of Darkness "O level" spell, leading to hasty conclusions. Lets examine how many die you gained after 36 PoD casts, casting 1 or 2 die. Cast................1 dice.....2 die miscast.............0/36......1/36 (actually l...

I tried to give a guess on future plans on a recent thread : "GW plans to stop availability of DoW for non-DoW armies" (found under "Druchii army list" forum) See http://www.druchii.net/viewtopic.php?t=54954&highlight= Basically, I believe that Manflayers will be authorized a...

Many dies are needed for WH and WH40K. A combination of different colours are very useful, as often some of the rolls need to reach different values: red dies for the knights, white dies for the cold ones ; or black dies for one attack per each knight, three brown dies for the Lord. Very small dies ...

The figure to take into account is the AUTHORIZED limit, not the actual total. If you plan for a 2000 battle, then you can take a Lord, event if your final total is 1950 pts. On the other hand, if you plan for a battle with a 1999 limit, that means that no Lord is authorized. In every case, you are ...

All what I said applies to RoR as well as DoW. Giants are the only exception mentioned in what I read. From what I read, - they are very cautious to let all options open, - but they (who are really "they"?) clearly consider to remove DoW as a legal entry for non-DoW armies (except giants)....

In the French GW website one, there is an insight about the future of DoW availability for non-DoW armies, found in a document providing clarifications for tournaments. The French document, dated 04/04/2008, is found there: http://fr.games-workshop.com/telechargement/warhammer/jeu/Conventions_wh_04-...

Agree. Nothing beats the real BB. Trouble is that they no longer sell individual minis but rather full team boxes so it becomes difficult to tune up your team. By the way, the computer game will let us play either in normal gaming (i.e. 4 minutes each player in alternance) or in real time mode, just...
